In the song, Charlebois offers a humorous ode to the downsides of winter, all the while expressing the warmth and relief Canadian “snowbirds” experience upon heading south. As the song’s protagonist prepares to leave the coldness of Montreal for a warm sunshine and ocean sands, he enumerates all things relating to Quebec winters: hockey, spades, snow blowers, ice, mittens, snow and the cold.

In Demain l’hiver, Charlebois also humorously quotes Gilles Vigneault’s classic song Mon pays, and as such, gaps the bridge between his and Vigneault’s generation of “chansonniers”. When he wrote the song, Charlebois was already starting to influence his own generation of “chansonniers.”
